Part three of Peter Ackroyds much-acclaimed History of England begins in 1603 with Sir Robert Careys ride from London to Edinburgh to proclaim James VI of Scotland King of England, France and Ireland. With an eye for the telling detail, Ackroyd evokes the lives of people - kings and commoners - as he follows the turbulent course of Stuart history, through the Civil War, Oliver Cromwells Commonwealth and the Restoration to the arrival of another foreign ruler - William of Orange - to the English throne.
